Faarfannaa 23

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Waaqayyo tiksee koo ti; ani homaa hin dhabu.

A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

2 Inni marga lalisaa keessa na boqochiisa; gara bishaan tasgabbaaʼaattis na geessa;

He causes me to lie down in pastures of tender grass, He leads me by quiet waters.

3 inni lubbuu natti deebisa. Maqaa isaatiif jedhees karaa qajeelaa irra na deemsisa.

He refreshes my soul, He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake;

4 Ani yoon sulula gaaddisa duʼaa keessa deeme illee ati waan na wajjin jirtuuf, homaa hin sodaadhu; uleen keetii fi bokkuun kee na jajjabeessu.

Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for You [are] with me, Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.

5 Ati utuma diinonni koo ilaalanuu fuula koo duratti maaddii naa qopheessita. Mataa koo zayitii dibda; xoofoon koos guutuu irraan dhangalaʼaa dha.

You arrange a table before me, In front of my adversaries, You have anointed my head with oil, My cup is full!

6 Dhugumaan gaarummaan keetii fi araarri kee, bara jireenya kootii hunda na duukaa buʼu; anis bara baraan, mana Waaqayyoo keessa nan jiraadha.

Surely goodness and kindness pursue me All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of YHWH, For [the] length of [my] days!
